these codes were written [4, 5]. Yarmus [18] and Russell [17] articulate the first line ofthinking. While there are differences in the tones of their arguments, both argue that engineers’ professional societies should use their members’ technical integrity and exemplary ethics as ameans of raising the status and stature of the profession. Unfortunately, by framing engineers’professional integrity as an unwavering platform upon which enhanced occupational statusshould be advocated, they leave little space for critique or improvement in this realm.Hill et al. and Andrews adopt the second line of reasoning. In contrast to Yarmus and Russell,these authors accept that engineers have room for improvement when it comes to ethicalconduct, but by
